[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1124512, member: 21626"] And finally, the 4th pair! The dam is my favorite momma cow, and definitely an "ugly betty" come fall time... She always weans off an impressive calf, and grows a better one each year! The bull calf is sired by Simple Math, and I am loving the way he is turning out! I have a full brother on the farm that I am using as a show steer this year, and I really like him, but this year's calf is already starting out ahead of his older brother (born 3 weeks earlier). Dam is also a 50/50 herfxhol cow, but she still has all 4 quarters. We tried to get her to take the holstein bull calf but she refused. Almost had a bad case of mastitis due to over-production, but we got it taken care of right away. She will be receiving the third embryo, and if I can only get one to stick then I sure hope she is the one that gets it. The bull calf will either be sold as a show steer or I will raise him as a show steer, depending on whether or not I have any room on my show-string after the shorthorn calves are born. I guess that's all for right now, feel free to comment on what you do/don't like about the calves! On the 2nd pair it might look like the calf has a sore leg, but she was actually just in a hurry to go get dinner, so she's on the move! :D [/QUOTE]
